This is part of XFree86 4.3.0, while RH8.0 has 4.2.0/4.2.1.

You are trying to use rpm built for RH9 on a RH8.0 machine, which
often (like in this case) does not work.

Is there really demand for myth on RH < 9?

You could upgrade to RH9 or build myth from source. Given enough
demand I'd consider building the rpms for RH8.0, but it is quite some
work involved ...
